Exactly. But what if I want to read it again? Or lend it to someone, which doesn't really work with a Kindle.

My Dad is 84 yo and loves his Kindle. My Sister and I bought him one for Christmas a while back. He's upgraded to a top-of-the-line model and bought readers for the great-grandkids.

You can actually lend from your Kindle library if your someone has a Kindle as well.

That's the catch. On the flip side, this way they can't borrow a book and never return it, right?

I'm pretty sure you can only do this once per book. Also, there is a two week limit.

I know about the two week limit, but I'm not for sure about the once per book thing.

I went back to a favorite book of mine again today, "The River Why", and forgot just how good some of the passages were:

“When people are kids their parents teach them all sorts of stuff, some of it true and useful, some of it absurd hogwash (example of former: don't crap your pants; example of latter: Columbus discovered America). This is why puberty happens. The purpose of puberty is to shoot an innocent and gullible child full of nasty glandular secretions that manifest in the mind as confusion, in the innards as horniness, upon the skin as pimples, and on the tongue as cocksure venomous disbelief in every piece of information, true or false, gleaned from one's parents since infancy. The net result is a few years of familial hell culminating in the child's exodus from the parental nest, sooner or later followed by a peace treaty and the emergence of the postpubescent as an autonomous, free-thinking human being who knows that Columbus only trespassed on an island inhabited by our lost and distant Indian relatives, but who also knows not to crap his pants.”
